Big Green win their first home game this year
HANOVER, N.H. — Freshman right-hander Nathan Skinner surrendered just one earned run on four hits over six innings while striking out a season-high six batters, and the Dartmouth offense exploded for 15 hits in a 15-7 victory on Monday afternoon as the Big Green (12-21, 6-9 Ivy) salvaged the series finale against the visiting Harvard Crimson (20-10, 10-5 Ivy).
Senior Nate Ostmo matched a career-high with four hits, including a two-run homer, while driving in four runs, and his classmate, Steffen Torgersen, also smacked a two-run bomb while collecting a career-high five RBIs. Freshman Ben Rice added three hits with a single, double and triple while driving in a pair, and senior Sean Sullivan scored all three times he reached base.
Skinner (2-5), meanwhile, picked up his first victory since March 2 while striking out at least one batter in each of the first five frames. The right-hander threw 95 pitches in his outing and faced the minimum batters in three of his six stanzas.
The Big Green went right to work against Harvard right-hander Ian Miller (2-3), loading the bases with two down in the first before Torgersen was clipped by a pitch, forcing in the game's first run. Although that was all Dartmouth pushed across the plate in that inning, they pounced for more in the second, knocking Miller from the box just four outs into the game.
Senior Matt Feinstein sent a two-run double into the gap in right center, and after a bunt single by Ostmo, an infield error brought home another run. Miller departed after hitting his third batter of the day, and Torgersen greeted reliever Harrison Stovern by finding the hole between first and second for a two-run single. After a force out put runners on the corners, junior Blake Crossing stole home on a double steal with junior Trevor Johnson, making it a 7-0 lead after two.
Harvard got two runs back in the fourth when Jake Suddleson sent a high drive just over the fence in right for a two-run homer, his 10th of the year. But Torgersen matched him in the bottom half with a long two-run blast of his own, his second of the season. Two batters later, Rice ripped an RBI triple, putting Dartmouth into double digits with a 10-2 advantage.
Ostmo launched his two-run bomb in the fifth, his third of the year, to put the Big Green up by 10, and his two-run single in the sixth made it a 14-2 game.
The Crimson were not disappointed to see Skinner depart after six, scoring four times in the seventh on five singles and a passed ball. Patrick McColl capped the outburst by dumping a two-run single into right field.
Rice stroked an RBI double off the fence in left-center in the bottom half for Dartmouth's final run, which Hunter Bigge duplicated for the Crimson in the eighth, completing the scoring. Sophomore Max Hunter retired the final six batters he faced, including the side in order in the ninth to close out the victory.
Suddleson led the 10-hit Harvard attack by going 3-for-4 with two RBIs and finishing a double shy of the cycle.
Dartmouth will play its final road game of the regular season on Wednesday afternoon at Siena with the first pitch slated for 3 p.m.
Notes: The win ended a six-game home losing streak, the Big Green's longest in 21 years … it also ended a four-game skid against Harvard, which hadn't happened in 21 years as well … Dartmouth is now 128-136 all-time against the Crimson, its most-often played series in program history … eight of the nine starters scored at least once with Rice oddly being the exception.
